I have redesigned the website again. Anyone who has been here for a while probably saw that coming. This time I am using new-to-me programming languages and newer frameworks to make the website load and react faster. Including more mobile…
I toggle settings, void warranties and go through website redesigns more than I change my underwear sometimes. I can never leave well enough alone because...it is Neve well enough for me. I'm adding new technologies and programming languages this time…
Because I rarely finish what I start when it comes to these things, here is an image of a companion website to a book that is in it's planning stages. No working title, just a rough outline. This website design…
